What does it take to rebuild your life after a difficult childhood?
In this episode of Care Visions Talks – Professional Talk, Humphrey Hawksley speaks with Tina Copp, who shares her experience of growing up in the care system and how those early challenges shaped her path into education and mental health training.

Now a Mental Health First Aid Instructor, Tina reflects on trauma, resilience, and the moments that can change a young person’s life — from being believed in, to simply being noticed.

This conversation explores:
Growing up in care and early life experiences
The impact of trauma and instability
Mental Health First Aid and early support
What professionals should look for and respond to
Why connection, belief and opportunity matter
A powerful conversation for foster carers, educators, and anyone supporting young people.
